Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

Why are they selling poppies, Daddy?
Selling poppies in town today.
"The poppies, child, are flowers of love.
For the men who marched away."

But why have they chosen a poppy, Daddy?
Why not a beautiful rose?
"Because my child, men fought and died
In the fields where the poppy grows."

But why are the poppies so red, Daddy?
Why are the poppies so red?
"Red is the colour of blood, my child.
The blood that our soldiers shed."

The heart of the poppy is black, Daddy.
Why does it have to be black?
"Black, my child, is the symbol of grief.
For the men who never came back."

But why my Daddy are you crying so?
Your tears are giving you pain.
"My tears are my fears for you my child.
For the world is forgetting again."

I'd like Charlie to issue another Royal Warrant...

 

Is that Jordan?
Not with my last ****ing breath.

 

****. I know cosmetic surgery is her gimmick, but Jesus.

There seems to be so many women terrified of ageing nowadays, yet somehow the young ones end up getting procedures that age them indirectly as they look the same as the older people that are trying to be young.

 

Where's the father?

 

I read somewhere some granny giving advice to younglings on cosmetic surgery, "You can look old or you can look weird, but you can never look young again. You've done that already".
